A scientific journal writes that almost 99% of the gold on our planet is in its core. Nature. This was the conclusion reached by Australian scientists studying the chemical composition of chondrite meteorites originating from asteroids. These asteroids formed from the same part of the protoplanetary disk as Earth, so they have the same composition.
According to the observations of scientists, if gold is collected from the Earth’s core, it will be possible to cover the earth with precious metal 50 centimeters thick.
Experts state that it is impossible to extract gold from the Earth’s core, but it is possible to obtain the metal in space. In the coming months, NASA wants to send a spacecraft to the asteroid Psyche, which contains rare metals such as gold, platinum, cobalt, rhenium and others.
By rough estimates, their value is estimated at 10 quintillion dollars, which is many times more than today’s entire world economy. Source
